+Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: core: drop the removal of the cells in
+ nvmem_add_cells()
+
+If nvmem_add_cells() fails, the whole nvmem_register() will fail
+and the cells will then be removed anyway. This is a preparation
+to introduce a nvmem_add_one_cell() which can then be used by
+nvmem_add_cells().
+
+This is then the same to what nvmem_add_cells_from_table() and
+nvmem_add_cells_from_of() do.
